Police Arrest 28 Over Human Trafficking, Online Pornography Ring in Wakiso
Police in Kira Division, Wakiso District, have arrested 28 suspects over alleged human trafficking and promotion of pornography following an intelligence-led operation in Mbalwa Buyinja Zone, Kyaliwajjala, in Kira Municipality.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson SP Racheal Kawala, the raid was conducted on Monday night after security agencies received reports about suspicious activities inside a highly restricted residence.
Police said officers found 27 young women and one man, aged between 17 and 26 years, living in three rooms allegedly being used for commercial online adult content production.
Authorities recovered several items believed to have been used in the operation, including laptops, cameras, and 10 adult devices allegedly linked to the recording of explicit content. The exhibits were taken to Kira Division Police Station as investigations continue.
“All the 27 females and one male suspect were taken into police custody and are currently assisting investigators through statement recording and ongoing investigations,” SP Kawala said.

Preliminary findings indicate that the suspects were allegedly involved in organized online adult content activities, with police now investigating possible links to human trafficking networks operating within Kampala Metropolitan areas.
The arrests come amid increased police crackdowns on trafficking, cyber exploitation, and organized criminal networks in Wakiso and Kampala. Uganda has in recent years intensified anti-trafficking operations targeting illegal recruitment, sexual exploitation, and online abuse rings.
